    1 Lying Down, 1 Month Breathing, 2 Possible Sneezes

    I noticed something off with these 3 Tuesday morning around 8am and put out electrolytes and probiotics for support until my lunch break. By 8:30, I was on my way to the ER. I didn't see my hens again until late Thursday morning, and they all seemed less normal than on Tuesday. They had...

    What the Actual Cluck? (A Journal)

    Peggy is a stinker, but she's a tiny bit more chill since she's got her eggs sorted out and "normal." She must have been going through a hormonal hurricane there for a while.
